But celebrities and skincare experts have used this natural hack to stay radiant.
Fitness influencer and entrepreneur Tammy Hembrow used colostrum on her skin shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Posy, 8 weeks ago.
According to Perth Now, Hembrow raved about the mask. “Oh my god, my skin after I washed it off was so smooth, like, I swear I’m gong to be using my breast milk, like, everyday on my skin,” she said.
Hoffman shared a similar experience. In her post listed all the perks, including: "It's magically anti-inflammatory."
"It stimulates the production of normal healthy skin bacteria, which will fight any problematic bacteria," she wrote.
"It can topically help any hormonal imbalances when applied on the skin," she added.
"It naturally contains growth factors which essentially make the skin regenerate," she confirmed.
"You may think…SHE IS CRAZY…for applying that to her face…" she wrote, as she rubbed colostrum onto her skin.
Instagram users were quick to shame the mother. One user wrote: "Selfish for not giving your baby the colostrum…very vain."
